Presumably, they already have their female lead. Shooting is in two and a half months, and they need to get to work on costuming and so on. And if it is Sharon, the actress would need to get into training.

Yeah, something's definitely up with this casting. The script must not be set, yet.

I'm pretty sure Anthony Mackie mentioned reading the script.. I get the impression the rest of the casting for the film won't take place until after the Oscars.. so the casting announcements don't lost during the hurray of the Super Bowl spots and Academy Awards.. plus if they cast one or two Oscar winners/nominees for either Winter Soldier or Guardians it will look smart on their part..

So maybe that whole report in which she was mentioned was total BS. It included Imogen Poots and Anna Kendrick as well, and that round of names always seemed particularly odd to me, so I'm just gonna choose to believe it was never true, lol.

1. The interview in which she said she wouldn't be back was referring to her role as Peggy Carter--and it makes sense that they would use a much older actress for that part in any new film. But most of the interviewers don't know the Cap backstory and that Sharon Carter is supposedly the spitting image of Peggy. It's just fishy. She's never come flat out and said that she will not be playing Sharon.

2. The COMPLETE lack of any casting news since October. Nothing anywhere. And let's face it, Latino Review gets it wrong more often than they get it right.

3. Atwell has been a VERY busy actress since Cap came out. Several British TV series, miniseries, films, etc. When asked on her Twitter what her next project was, she didn't answer. She's been working nonstop and suddenly, has nothing on the horizon. Maybe training for a Cap start in April?

4. Marvel's notorious focus on secrecy. These guys are masters at keeping stuff under wraps. The Cap/Peggy thing is probably the one people are most interested in finding out what happens next. Do we really think they are just going to DROP the whole thing and move on to a new relationship?

5. All the actresses mentioned, with perhaps the exception of Mary Elizabeth Winstead, are just physically WRONG for Sharon Carter. It doesn't seem like these casting rumors are for Sharon, IMHO.

Felicity Jones also came out to deny Cap rumors.. with a new denial coming from HeyUGuys in the UK.. I assume that Oscar nominated actress Anna Kendrick is actually the only real candidate since when asked she didn't really say anything either way.. plus, is dating one of the Marvel directors (Edgar Wright) and worked with Evans on Scott Pilgrim.. wouldn't be shocked if Anna ended up with the role

I've seen this pointed out as a reason for why she might get the part, and I don't see it.

Like, Edgar Wright hasn't directed a Marvel movie yet, so I don't think he has that type of pull.
